I build and lead multidisciplinary teams across design, research, and content strategy to drive impact across consumer, enterprise, and AI products.
Companies I've led design for
Coaching teams to think bigger, work smarter, and design with purpose. Championing a culture where design is a team sport.
Translating ambiguity into vision—connecting north stars, metrics, and mechanisms to drive meaningful outcomes.
Designing experiences where artificial intelligence augments human judgment—balancing automation with agency, and insight with trust.
Jay's design instincts are unlike anyone I've worked with. His ability to translate how clients actually work into product features that matter is what helped us leapfrog competitors. I haven't met many design leaders who combine those traits.

Jay is one of the most visionary leaders I've met. Staying on the cutting edge isn't just something he does — it's who he is. He mentors with kindness, shares expertise generously, and creates an environment where people feel supported and inspired to grow.

Jay is one of those rare design leaders who operates effectively at both the Principal IC and Design Manager levels. His work is thoughtful, systems-oriented, and grounded in a strong understanding of user needs and business objectives. What distinguishes him is his ability to calibrate his style to the situation — stepping in with hands-on expertise when it accelerates progress, and stepping back to create space for others to lead.
